Manchester United loanee Eric Bailly sent off after just 15 minutes for shocking tackle

Manchester United loanee Eric Bailly was sent off just 15 minutes into Marseille's French Cup match against Hyeres on Saturday afternoon.

Igor Tudor's side went into the game as heavy favourites and were able to secure a victory over their fourth-tier opponents - despite being a man down the majority of the clash. Bailly, who is on a season-long loan deal with the Ligue 1 side, was sent off for a shocking challenge on Moussa N'Diaye inside the opening 15 minutes.

N’Diaye attempted to launch a counter-attack, but was brutally stopped in his tracks by Bailly. The Ivorian defender attempted to pinch the ball from the Hyeres midfielder, yet N’Diaye got their first and Bailly ended up taking the 26-year-old down with a high boot to the chest.
